Dave - that is the same way that I did it.
If you have odd sized stock kicking around you can still build it but I would at a minimum ensure the main frame is solid. This is the reason the diagonals are angle and not flat bar. You have a sheet metal break, so you could actually form the shelves like Ken's are and then you will not need to use angle for the front/back - that is about a 12' saving right there. You could also use smaller angle or even small box/tube for the dividers.
Ed - you will notice from Ken's pictures that the top rail is attached quite differently to mine. That is because I favour the notched joint over this one, as (I find) it is much easier to clamp everything square. At the end of the day there is more than one way to skin a cat...
